Having just released the latest version of the Mozy app, we’re doing a series of blog posts covering some of the new features in the app. In our previous episode, we looked at the new My Mozy home page, and how the app now can remember multiple Mozy accounts for faster login.

Now let’s take a look at Favorites in the iPhone app. Okay, it’s also the iPad app. And, it’s also the iPod touch app. Well, technically speaking, since it supports all three, I guess it’s the iOS app. But our marketing peeps tell me that a lot of people don’t know the name iOS. So I always end up using all three names. Anyway, let’s get to the point…

You can view offline files on iOS devices by making the file a “favorite.” Start by downloading a file. Once it downloads, tap the star in the bottom right of the viewer to mark it as a favorite.

After doing so, the app will keep a copy of the file on your device so you can view it even without an Internet connection.

I should note one important thing about Favorites. This version of the app doesn’t automatically update your favorites. (We’re working on it!) So, if you have updated a “favorite” file from your computer and then back it up (or sync it with Stash), you might still see the old version on your iOS device when you view it while offline. If you view it when your iOS device does have an Internet connection, then the app will download the update.

In our next post, we’ll take a look at something similar for Android devices…like your Kindle Fire, Droid X, Galaxy Tablet, HTC Desire HD, and…oh, there I go again. I guess you get the point.
